Because the ground was full of oil and firewood, the flames spread very quickly, but in a short moment, the place where the tens of thousands of troops were located became a sea of fire, the blazing fire illuminated the sky, many soldiers became fire men, screaming and running around, many soldiers rolled on the ground according to their previous experience, hoping to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but how did they know that the ground was full of oil, but not only did not extinguish the flames, but made the flames burn more and more vigorously, and they all died miserably.

Zhang Liao thought that the enemy would launch a fire attack at the moment, so he immediately turned back under the protection of his own soldiers, fortunately, in order to avoid him being attacked by crossbow arrows, and in order to be able to seize the lead in this battle, he took the initiative to invite Ying to be the vanguard, and let him lead the cavalry to the rear of the palace, so he had the opportunity to escape to the river.

But looking around in the blazing firelight, Zhang Liao's heart couldn't help twitching, because the 13,000 people under his command, except for the 5,000 cavalry who turned over and escaped back with the protection of themselves, and the 8,000 infantry were all buried in the fire.

And even the five thousand cavalrymen are now worried and uneasy, because they have seen in the night that their original camp is full of fire, which is obviously captured by Xu Shu's army, and the sound of battle on the left and right flanks has gradually subsided, and the clear and loud wading sound comes from both sides, which is enough to prove that Xu Shu and Zhao Yun's sergeants have quickly eliminated his two wings as suspicious soldiers.

Now that there is a sea of fire in front of them, and enemy soldiers in the back, where will these 5,000 spend the night? Even if you can barely survive this night, what can you do? Are they going to camp in the river? What's more, even if they can camp in the river, how can the enemy give them a chance to rest?

After about a meal, they saw a group of enemy troops come before them and surround them.

At this time, he heard under the torch, and a general came out of the crowd and said slowly: "Zhang Wenyuan." Now that you have fallen into a desperate situation, if you dismount and surrender, you can still be left with a way to live, otherwise, I am afraid that the five thousand sons and daughters of Bingzhou who have been with you for more than ten years will all die, and they have been loyal to you for more than ten years. Honor you as your father, how can you bear them to die here with you? They are all the pillars of the family, and once they die, what will happen to their wives and children? Who will support their parents and relatives? ”

Zhang Liao suddenly let out a long sigh when he heard this, and two lines of tears flowed down his face, then turned around and said to the five thousand soldiers beside him: "All the soldiers, it is Liao's incompetence, and it is a great disaster for Del and others. What General Xu said is very reasonable, Liao can't bear to kill all your brothers here, you are all the pillars of the family, you are not light, there is no need to seek death innocently, you can choose to surrender to the Chu army, the Chu army has a tradition of not abusing and killing prisoners, as long as you do not rebel. I will definitely be able to save my life. ”

The five thousand knights under his command were all in tears when they saw Zhang Liao's true feelings. There are even a few hot-blooded men who said loudly: "We have received the general's kindness, and we have nothing to repay, and today I am willing to give up my life to help the general break out of the siege and repay the general's kindness." ”

After the man finished speaking. Immediately, the surrounding echoes were heard, and the soldiers shouted loudly together: "I am willing to give up my life to help the general break out of the siege in order to repay the general's kindness." ”

Zhang Liao arched his hand and said: "You have good intentions, but if there is a glimmer of hope to escape." Liao will not give up, but Liao knows that now that we are besieged by the Chu army, even if we have wings, it will be difficult to escape. Since Liao can't avoid death, why should he be tired of his brothers and die innocently? ”

A soldier walked up a few steps and asked in a deep voice, "If I wait, what is the general's plan?" ”

Zhang Liao recognized that this person's name was Zhou Qiao, a veteran he had been bringing over in Bingzhou, he glanced at Zhou Qiao, and then said seriously: "King Wei treats me like a mountain, Liao lost his teacher and lost his land this time, and he felt guilty in his heart, and he could only repay him with death." ”

The surrounding soldiers were all emotional, and they threw down their weapons and surrendered, they looked at Zhang Liao with a look of reluctance, just a stick of incense, there were only more than 500 people left in the field, these are all veterans brought by Zhang Liao from Bingzhou, and they are also the real team of Zhang Liao's iron cavalry.

When Zhou Qiao heard this, he immediately shouted: "The last general has followed the general for many years, and he has also received great favor from the general, since the general can repay the king of Wei with death, can't the last general repay the general with death?" There is no need for the general to say anything about today's affairs, as long as the general is willing to fight to the death, the last general is willing to follow to the death. ”

Zhou Qiao's words were generous and fierce, and there were many generous and sad men in the state, and they all shouted when they heard the words: "As long as the general is willing to fight to the death, the last general is willing to swear to the death." ”

Zhang Liao sighed softly when he heard this, and then said: "In this case, Liao will thank you for your kindness, and seek a reward under the Yellow Spring." Soldiers, kill me. ”

The soldiers of the Chu army were already secretly on guard when Zhang Liao and his soldiers showed their true feelings, and now seeing that Zhang Liao was preparing to rush to kill, one after another crossbows had already aimed at them coldly, just waiting for an order, these hundreds of people, including Zhang Liao, would definitely become a hornet's nest.

Zhang Liao was only begging for death now, so he had no fear in his heart, and ignored these powerful repeaters as if they were nothing, and led his army to rush towards the left flank.

At this time, he suddenly heard a general flashing out of the left flank direction, and said loudly: "I have heard that Zhang Wenyuan is a well-known man, and he is really extraordinary when he sees it today, but now it is useless to die, it is better to fight alone with me, than the last one, if you can defeat, the general will promise to let you and the soldiers under your command have a way to live, how about it?" ”

"Is that true?" A glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in Zhang Liao's eyes, and he looked at Zhao Yun fixedly, and then asked.

"Naturally, take it seriously, I, Zhao Zilong, have always been a promise, whether it is to friends or enemies, I have never said anything untrustworthy."

"Then, what if Liao is unfortunately defeated?" Zhang Liao looked worried, he naturally knew Zhao Yun's bravery, and he thought that he might not be an opponent, so he asked worriedly.

"Hehe, don't think about winning, think about defeat first, Zhang Wenyuan is really a generation of famous generals, but this sentence is indeed a bit pedantic, since you are now inevitable to die anyway, if you defeat it is your chance, if you are unfortunately defeated, it is naturally you and your hundreds of sergeants to deal with it. If you are not afraid of death, what is there to worry about? ”

"Hehe, what General Zhao said is good, it is indeed too pedantic for Liao, even so, a certain promise to you is, if you are lucky to win, we can get a way to live, if you are unfortunately defeated, let you dispose of it."

Zhang Liao knows that hundreds of people on his side only need an order from the other party, and they will immediately become a pile of dead corpses, the so-called people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat, this is the case, and now it is already a great luck to have a hope of getting away, if you want to pursue perfection, where is it possible? So, after just a little thought, he agreed to the other party's conditions.

"I have heard for a long time that Changshan Zhao Zilong is a tiger general in the world, and today I just want to understand the general's demeanor."

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he let out a clear whistle and slashed at Zhao Yun's top door with the big knife in his hand.

Zhao Yun saw that the opponent's strength was heavy, and the murderous aura turned into a cold wind whistling, and he didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly dodged sideways, and at the same time, the silver spear in his hand turned into a white dragon, stabbing Zhang Liao's ribs like thunder.

Zhang Liao was also shocked, he didn't expect the other party's silver gun to come so quickly, if he was stabbed this time, how could he die? In a critical situation, he immediately exerted his left leg and kicked the horse in the belly, but he sat down and the war horse was trained well on weekdays, understood the master's intentions, and obediently jumped into the right diagonal stab.

At the same time, Zhang Liao immediately twisted his waist sideways, which was avoided. The other party's silver spear almost pierced against the armor, and even he could feel the chill on the tip of the spear.

Zhang Liao's back was covered with cold sweat, and only then did he know that Zhao Yun, as a tiger general that Liu Bei and Liu Qi all valued, was indeed extraordinary, and this move alone made him almost fatally injured, so he put away his previous arrogance and impetuousness, and began to turn to the defensive, first guarding the door, and then looking for an opportunity to break the enemy.

Although he didn't care about his life and death, he knew that only by living and defeating Zhao Yun could he find life for the hundreds of loyal life and death brothers around him, and it was precisely because of this that he was willing to accept Zhao Yun's heads-up, so he cherished this opportunity very much.

Zhao Yun didn't expect Zhang Liao to turn on the defensive so quickly, and he attached a little more importance to Zhang Liao in his heart, because the other party could see the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and us in an instant, and was able to make the most beneficial adjustment in the first time, which was enough to show that Zhang Liao was a very smart person.

"It's a pity that such a smart person is so loyal that he would rather die than surrender." Zhao Yun secretly sighed in his heart, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

In fact, the reason why he proposed to compete with Zhang Liao was not because he believed that he was strong in martial arts and heroic, which made his soldiers admire him even more, and proved to Xu Shu, Tai Shici and others and even the lord Liu Qi that he was actually not inferior to Zhang Liao's cunzài, mainly because he admired Zhang Liao's loyalty, and didn't want him to die like this. This desire grew even stronger in his heart.

Therefore, although Zhang Liao turned into a defensive position, holding a kind of psychology of not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, and could not win in a short time, Zhao Yun still rose up to the might, and a gun in his hand was either like a dragon going to sea, or like a strange python turning over, or like a spirit snake spitting letters, or like a white rainbow through the sky, unpredictable, even Cheng Pu, Tai Shici and other spear masters couldn't help but praise again and again, ashamed of themselves.

Zhao Yun attacked more than 100 times, and deliberately exposed many flaws during the period, but Zhang Liao ignored this qiē, and the big knife in his hand danced into a strong gate, firmly blocking Zhao Yun's incursion.

"Haha, Zhang Wenyuan really deserves to be a generation of famous generals, and the martial arts in his hands are really good, it seems that if I don't show my housekeeping skills today, it will be difficult for me to win, Zhang Wenyuan, look at my stunt, rainstorm pear flower gun."

After finishing speaking, I saw that the shadow of the gun was heavy, and the gun was up and down, like dancing pear blossoms, all over the body, like floating snow, stabbing towards Zhang Liao. (To be continued......)
